Full Stack Development + Interactive Design + Teaching

My career has taken me from managing a software store to database systems management to network administration to network emergency response tech to manager of information systems to web master to web developer to web designer to university professor.

What’s common to all these aptitudes and roles? Data management and design – the constant in all the information revolutions since Gutenberg.

If you can describe it, I can build it and teach it: custom WordPress dev + data-driven interactive solutions for organizations which need something more than something off the shelf.

The sweet spot, that is, between development, design and data - that's where I work and reside.

Helping organizations & schools emerge from outdated systems, practices and standards is a specialty. Contact me to see how you and your students can get exactly what you want.

I work inside a growing piece of art, an overlay of a gallery, performance space, design office and recording studio.

SOME CLIENT, FACULTY & PERSONAL WORK

Working with clients of all sizes, I am highly skilled at creating custom database-driven interactive solutions using WordPress, PHP, mySQL, jQuery, AJAX & Bootstrap. Database management is a specialty.

Most people in my field do web development *or* web design – I do both back- and front-end. I am well-versed in creating innovative applications serving up API-driven rich content from Scribd, Flickr, SoundCloud, YouTube, Twitter, Google Custom Search, Disqus, Wufoo and others.

I specialize in creating interactive storytelling experiences through integrating custom programming and open-source APIs in WordPress

Me?

Aptitude tests in high school reported I was best suited to be a farmer.

Expelled my senior year from Gonzaga College High School in Washington, I was a high school drop-out for awhile, living the life of a musician, playing shows and trying to get my bands signed to record contracts.

Eventully I was accepted by the Catholic University of America despite having neither a high school diploma nor GED or SAT scores. I made Dean’s List and graduated from CUA with a BA in American History. >> Would you like to know more? <<

For over 25 years now, I have been studying American heritage while living a pop culture hermitage:
